This has been my week for webinars! I listened to two of them from Ancestry.com, and another one sponsored by the Southern
California Genealogy Society at www.scgsgenealogy.com,which featured Thomas MacEntee from
Geneabloggers www.geneabloggers.com called Genealogy Research Toolbox.

First of all, i It must be said that Thomas' Genealogy Toolbox is FREE
to take from his site at
http://genealogytoolbox.weebly.com/index.html. I have just been to
his site, and there were a few links that I am interested in, and
will add to my site, and you can do the same thing.

But not to get ahead of myself, a Genealogy Research Toolbox (GRT) is
a list of links that you have decided is key to your research. After you have made your choices, you can organize them in either a website, a “wiki”, a blog, or
maybe by using Favorites or Bookmarks in your browser, for instance. The
choice is yours.

The first to do this was visit Cyndi's List at www.cyndislist.com to see what links are there which
would interest you, take them, and add them to your own Genealogy
Research Toolbox.

One site I will be adding to my list is RootsWeb Search
Thingy at http://searches.rootsweb.ancestry.com.
I have used this before and found it useful, but haven't use it
lately, so I will add that to my list.

If you want more help setting up your own personal research list, you
can go to Genealogy Research Toolbox at
www.genealogy-research-tools.com
to get excellent advice on how to set one up, and how to use it to
your advantage.

So if you haven't set one up already, take some time to do it so
that you can find sites very easily, saving you time and
aggravation in trying to find them in the wide-open Internet world.

My thanks go to the Southern California Genealogical Society and
Thomas MacEntee for putting on this webinar.

Booklet #1 - The War of 1812: Canada and the United States

The booklet, “The War of 1812: Canada and the United States”, gives a synopsis of the causes of the War, and details the battles that took place (who, where, and when), and which included British forces, Blacks, and Aboriginal warriors who fought on both sides of the conflict.

Booklet #2 – Migration: Canada and the United States

These headings offer good examples of those who came to Canada, or of Canadians who left for the U.S, and why. The booklet gives a synopsis of what records to look for, the books written on the subject, where to find online resources, and a bonus list of some famous Canadians who migrated to the U.S.
